Z GrillsReviews of zgrills.com

I am absolutely thrilled with my Z Grills! The performance is outstanding, and it’s incredibly easy to use.

I decided to give the Z Grills 1100 a shot because of a promotion they ran: buy 1, get 10. For just under $900, I was curious but skeptical. A deal like that made me think these grills couldn’t be all that great. For context, I started with a Traeger but wasn’t impressed, so I moved to Recteq and absolutely loved it. However, upgrading to a Recteq of this size would have cost me $1,299—just for one grill. So here I am with the Z Grills 1100. After 3 months of use, I’ve smoked Boston butts, pork chops, burgers, ribs, and even four turkeys for Thanksgiving. To my surprise, the results have been on par with my Recteq. There’s a slight learning curve with this grill—particularly avoiding the bottom for longer cooks, as it can burn—but once you get the hang of it, it’s smooth sailing. Considering the price, I highly recommend the Z Grills 1100. It’s an excellent value for the quality and performance you get.

One of the best grills I have ever got.

I recently bought the 700D and I'm totally impressed. It keeps a even cooking temp throughout the cook for low and slow and high heat. It has one of the biggest hoppers for the all day cook. This grill looks great, cooks great and the price was right!!!

I purchased the 700D3 model during the Black Friday "Buy 1 get 10" promotion. It took about 2 weeks to receive two separate deliveries that made up the grill. Assembly was easy, it was nice to have the necessary tools provided as well as the gloves. The grill went together easily, all panels and holes lined up perfectly. The panels and grill body are heavy and solid, the proper gauge metal for a quality grill....is weighs in at close to 150 lbs. The only issue that I have is with the temperature control knob. The outer knob seems a little bigger than the inner knob, so it just spins when attempting to adjust the temperature. I don't really want to glue it to the inner knob in case I need to remove/replace the control panel, so I will have to figure something out to remedy that problem. I also would have thought that being a "flagship model" for the company, and 2 temperature probes included, that this unit would have connectivity to the phone app via Bluetooth. Sadly, this is not the case. I have tested the auger system to ensure that it is feeding correctly. I am going to complete the initial burn in tomorrow and then smoke a flat iron steak. I am looking forward to cooking many delicious meals with this grill/smoker unit!

I bought the 600D3E and overall the grill is good and smokes the meat well, but a few things keep it from being 5 stars. First, the English on the instructions was very broken. Second, smoke escapes from the sides and actually discolors the side attachments, which is bad design. Third, the construction of the drip pan makes it hard to cover with aluminum foil, as the directions suggest.

All items ordered arrived in good working condition. Be prepared to do some work as everything is very securely packed and protected. Assembly takes a little time but the instructions are easy to follow.

Bought the 1 for 10 7002C2E, not sure how the deal will work and most likely will take the early out option in 2-3 years, just case zGrill isn't around in 5-10 years. Assembly was not to difficult-about 1 hour, 2 people would have speeded it up. Did burn in and first cook was a whole chicken. Came out good, although the skin in definitely rubbery when smoked. But chicken was moist and favorful for first smoke. Ramped it up for next cook and did a 16 hr pork butt, 3 racks of ribs and a turkey breast. The wifi was my best decision, next was 28 lb hopper. Low and slow overnight and kept checking my phone to make sure temps were where they were supposed to be. Everything in 2nd smoke came out great, especially injected turkey breast. Overall good value smoker. Pro's: Wifi, stable/accurate temp, 2 probes. Con's: Ash clean out, hopper feed and empty design, temp control does not have a good dial/specific setting. Hoping me and zGrill are around long enough to receive 10 grills.
